The Merritt development team also implemented a routine upgrade to the web applications underlying Merritt (Ruby on Rails).

UC Berkeley Library added over 4 TB of content to Merritt in May. There is currently over 8 TB of collections within Merritt, total, comprising resources deposited from UC campus libraries and campus departments.

On Tuesday May 21 at 3:00PM (PT), there was a general UCOP (UC Office of the President) network outage which impacted connectivity for CDL operations and services including Merritt. This outage lasted approximately 1 hour. It did not have any effect on data stored in Merritt. There was some impact on content being submitted at the time of the outage. We have addressed those issues and have ingested all the submissions that were affected. Please contact us at uc3@ucop.edu with any questions or concerns about this network outage.
